On Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Jair Benitez became just the 12th player in franchise history to make 100 starts for the club and only the second player(Drew Moor) to do it exclusively under the FC Dallas name. In honor of the Colombian joining the FC Dallas Century Club, we sat down for a quick Q&A with the man known as "Chigüi."

What's your favorite memory with FC Dallas?

Winning the Western Conference Championship in 2010 against the Galaxy in Los Angeles.

What's your favorite thing about living in Texas?

The weather, I definitely love the heat!

Off the field, what's been the hardest thing for you to adjust to?

English, for sure. [Tuesday] we started English classes and I probably should have already learned English, but this year I’m focused and have the mindset to get my English done.
